3.3 Connect your desk phone to Wi-Fi
Your desk phone can be connected to a wireless network when equipped with the ALE-108 Wireless
Module. This module is based on a Dual-Band WLAN (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) – Bluetooth® chipset with
several configuration options (manual or automatic) and deployment scenarios (Personal Mode or
Enterprise Mode). Personal mode is based on WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication used in Home
Networks or Small Configurations. Enterprise Mode is used in corporate deployments with
enhanced access control to Wi-Fi networks based on authentication protocols centrally managed
with an authentication server (Radius server, for example).
Wi-Fi connectivity is available when there is no wired LAN connection (LAN has priority over WLAN)
with desk phone powered locally either thru PoE Adapter with no data or with an USB-C power
supply.
Manual configuration in Personal Mode accessible to the user through a configuration wizard, as
detailed in this document. Please contact your system administrator for other configuration
options.
